Have you worked for the City? I have. I don't have a count, but there are people, and lot's of them, "working there" that couldn't possibly get away with doing what they do, anywhere else. Your post would be like the captain of the Titanic announcing "we've reduced the size of the hole by 1/6". It's not the lack of computer technology, it's having the skill to implement it effectively.
